You can not, the watch is just an extension of the phone screen. It will allow you to receive a message without taking out your phone and disrupting activities.

You need to buy a sim card to use this watch as a cell phone, actually this watch is a cell phone so you dont need to buy a cell phone to start enjoy this watch as cell phone

IF you go into settings, scroll down to Connectivity ( it is below your Security Settings). You will find your Bluetooth settings there. This watch phone has worked really for me. The phone and texting both work well, but I have never been able to get the data to work. Beyond that I have had no problems with it. You can also load videos onto this phone if they are in a 3gp format.

Monica, if your watch is analogic ( it should say, or google it) It won't work. you will need an analogic one, if your watch is digital, it will work.

My watch did include a sensor. I had purchased a second one thinking it wouldn't. Note that if you have the app for your smart phone, the watch won't interface with it. I think this is the only draw back for this watch.

Yes, but you can not talk, take a picture and the touch screen is hardly work. In short, it is a far from its discription in amazon website. Actually I regretted that I wasted more than $70 in watch that does not worth even $5.

Yes. The chronometer piece works without receiving satellite data nor accelerometer. Works even if the watch is stand still.

The watch works completely on its own with its own GPS. It doesn't even connect to your cell phone.
